Patch 10.8 Notes

Check out the Patch 10.8 notes:

"Hey all you cool Jeweled Protectors and Hushtails! 

This patch, we’ve got another follow-up to the funnel mechanics and a couple of wider jungle changes that should help with pacing, mainly around early game impact. We’re slightly reducing how much a gank will punish an enemy, and giving junglers a steadier stream of XP mid to late game. These adjustments should help you bounce back and stabilize from early setbacks. Alongside this, we're helping out players who aren't hyper-optimizing their jungle clearing, giving them some breathing room with extra sustain so they're not always punished for taking a a little too much damage from a Raptor. 

We're also adding a couple of QoL changes to things like champion ability timers to better indicate how much time you have on an ability's cast or empowerment and the Practice Tool. Be sure to check those out!

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS 

Coven Morgana, Coven LeBlanc, Coven Zyra, and Coven Zyra Prestige Edition will be available on April 16, 2020. 

CHAMPIONS

APHELIOS
Passive bonus armor penetration removed, lethality added. Q ability level scaling takes longer for base damage and cooldowns, damage ratio increased. 

Aphelios has continued to pull out the big guns as a pro dominant champion. We’re looking to attack his power curve as well as his ability to deal with the tanky front line threats that he more likely encounters in pro play. 

PASSIVE - THE HITMAN AND THE SEER

• REMOVED BONUS ARMOR PENETRATION Aphelios no longer gains 3/6/9/12/15/18% bonus armor penetration
• NEW LETHALITY Aphelios now gains 2/4/6/8/10/12 lethality

Q - WEAPONS OF THE FAITHFUL

• BASE DAMAGE AND COOLDOWN LEVEL SCALING Aphelios' weapons actives' base damage and cooldowns scale over levels 1-9 ⇒ levels 1-13
• MOONSHOT DAMAGE AD RATIO 0.6 bonus attack damage ⇒ 0.42-0.6 (levels 1-13) bonus attack damage
• ONSLAUGHT DAMAGE AD RATIO 0.3 bonus attack damage ⇒ 0.21-0.3 (levels 1-13) bonus attack damage
• BINDING ECLIPSE DAMAGE RATIO 0.35 bonus attack damage ⇒ 0.26-0.35 (levels 1-13) bonus attack damage
• DUSKWAVE DAMAGE RATIO 0.8 bonus attack damage ⇒ 0.56-0.8 (levels 1-13) bonus attack damage
• SENTRY DAMAGE RATIO 0.5 bonus attack damage ⇒ 0.35-0.5 (levels 1-13) bonus attack damage

ASHE
Q bonus attack speed increased. 

Strike quickly—now even quicker. Ashe has been weaker than we’d like, so we’re amping up her main DPS ability as frost-ing on the cake. 

Q - RANGER'S FOCUS

• BONUS ATTACK SPEED 20/25/30/35/40% ⇒ 20/30/40/50/60%

EVELYNN
Q damage increased. 

We're upping some of Eve's damage to help her saunter her way through early skirmishes and the jungle more reliably. 

Q - HATE SPIKE

• BASE SPIKE DAMAGE 25/30/35/40/45 (75/90/105/120/135 maximum damage) ⇒ 30/35/40/45/50 (90/105/120/135/150 maximum damage)

KALISTA
Base armor reduced. E slow decreased. 

We're reeling in a bit of Kalista's power with a focus on her early game CC so that she can’t kite enemies as easily without backup, and has to rely more on her support for utility. 

BASE STATS

• ARMOR 23 ⇒ 21

E - REND

• SLOW 25/30/35/40/45% ⇒ 10/18/26/34/42%

MASTER YI
R bonus attack speed decreased. 

We've been seeing Yi snowball too often, especially in average play, so we're nudging him back by pulling a little power out of his ult. 

R - HIGHLANDER

• BONUS ATTACK SPEED 30/55/80% ⇒ 25/45/65%

ORIANNA
W movement speed modifier increased later. E shield ratio increased. 

We’re giving our Golem gal more oomph in her CC and utility so she can run more like clockwork. 

W - COMMAND: DISSONANCE

• ALLY HASTE/ENEMY SLOW 20/25/30/35/40% movement speed ⇒ 30/35/40/45/50% movement speed

E - COMMAND: PROTECT

• SHIELD RATIO 0.4 ability power ⇒ 0.5 ability power

RYZE
Base health, armor, and damage rounded up. Q movement speed increased. 

Cautiously giving Ryze some power while cleaning up some uneven stats. 

BASE STATS

• HEALTH 570.48 ⇒ 575
• ARMOR 21.552 ⇒ 22
• ATTACK DAMAGE 55.04 ⇒ 56

Q - OVERLOAD

• BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 20/25/30/35/40% when consuming 2 runes ⇒ 28/32/36/40/44% when consuming 2 runes

SENNA
Passive Mist Wraith spawn chance decreased. 

Trimming some power from Senna since players are continuing to get better with her. 

PASSIVE - ABSOLUTION

• MIST WRAITH SPAWN CHANCE 25% on minions Senna doesn't kill ⇒ 22% on minions Senna doesn't kill

SETT
W base damage decreased. 

We’ve been seeing players rely on Sett’s W for its consistent early wave control, so we’re giving his enemies a bit of breathing room before he can, uh, set them straight. 

W - HAYMAKER

• BASE DAMAGE 90/120/150/180/210 ⇒ 80/105/130/155/180

SORAKA
Base mana increased. Q cost decreased. 

Star Guardians get a lot of mana. It's a thing. Loosening her restrictions on her aggressive output so she can have some more presence in lane. 

BASE STATS

• MANA 375 ⇒ 425

Q - STARCALL

• COST 60/65/70/75/80 mana ⇒ 45/50/55/60/65 mana

TRISTANA
E bonus damage ratio increased. 

We're giving Tristana a bump up to help her core kit combo to continue razing her enemies throughout the game. 

E - EXPLOSIVE CHARGE

• EXPLOSION DAMAGE RATIO 50/70/90/110/130% bonus attack damage ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150% bonus attack damage

URGOT
E bugfixes. R cooldown decreased. 

We’re fixing some bugs to Disdain and giving him more opportunities to bring the fear. And death. And all that. 

E - DISDAIN

• MOVEMENT SPEED BUGFIX Fixed an issue where he wasn't getting extra movement speed on dash
• STUN BUGFIX Urgot now properly has a total CC duration of 1.5 seconds, including stun duration and time elapsed when enemy champion is flung, as intended from patch 10.6. (tooltip also now correctly reflects said total CC duration).

R - FEAR BEYOND DEATH

• COOLDOWN 120/95/70 seconds ⇒ 100/85/70 seconds

VARUS
R cooldown increased. 

We're looking to curb a bit of Varus' power while making sure both of his meta builds are still equally viable, so we decided to balance one of the tools in his kit that would balance across both versions without chaining him down. 

R - CHAIN OF CORRUPTION

• COOLDOWN 110/90/70 seconds ⇒ 130/100/70 seconds

XAYAH
E damage per feather hit increased. 

Buffing those sweet Bladecallers so Xayah can keep ruffling her enemies’ feathers. 

E - BLADECALLER

• ADDITIONAL FEATHER HIT DAMAGE 10% less damage per feather ⇒ 5% less damage per feather 

CHAMPION ABILITY TIMERS
